lol I read it all through, and my final conclusion is that ... This is a clear example of what 3 months of Covid-19 quarantine does to a person. I'm extending a virtual hug.

All jokes aside, we do indeed have a problem with clickbaiting, half truths, sensationalism, and outright lying. Social media compounds these on enormous scale.

Paragraphs would be good in a case like this.

I've seen your posts before and I always thought there was something screwy about you. Now I see.

#1; It's very hard to read a run-on sentence...let alone a run on paragraph - forget a run-on essay.

#2. You're trying to shock us with the headlines...then ramble on about "one can never have too much God, ammiright" ....

...huh?

So....sorry. You're obviously confused. You're obviously not organized with your thoughts...and sadly...you're just #religulous.

Do we "get" the headline? I get that you're confused....for sure.

But

I'm glad you're here.

At least you're seeking answers, not wallowing in religions. Kudos on your efforts.

It's clearer now why I like you. Well done.

Serious question here, because I agree it's a serious problem and certainly we, as a society, can do better. How do we influence accountability in the media? I mean, you did get lots of reads from the headline, so job well done there, but how do we stop making the baiting with misinformation a fruitful approach? Is there a way to infuse integrity into our media sources or do we simply have to work from the flipside and try to teach people how to consume information and how to spot and spit out the bullshit that's thrown in with it?

Ok. Read. BUT, the only Christians I know are the crazy fundies in this area. I can't help but judge all of them on the ones I know personally. If I knew more generous christians I would judge them more generously.

...if you think I read all that! The best I can do is stop taking you seriously ..if I can even remember who you are..

Goofball.

I get the point you’re trying to make...albeit in a rather tediously wordy slab of text! I must say though that even were it actually true, and your beliefs actually did match your headline, and that you were in fact “outing yourself” to us, that would be perfectly fine with me. Everyone, even here on this ostensibly anti-religious site, has the right to state their beliefs or non-beliefs, even those which seem to be counterintuitive or contradictory to the rest of us. I would however, draw the line if you started to try to proselytise!

So why don't you read what other people write carefully ?

your fishing is being rewarded. funny, and well demonstrated.

Interesting to watch.

You are one of a kind sir! I respect you a lot.

awww..... I always figured you for Rastafarian. you just never know I guess.

You're going through quite a woke phase. You've been acting differently lately.

I've studied you for awhile. I knew you were freaking brilliant from the first post you made - not fair when people can write PhD level easily and have mastered that level of science and math. Then I saw some of your posts that tended to be anti-Greta. I hoped there wasn't some male chauvenism there. Then you showed me that wasn't the case- just figureheads shouldn't be appreciated when the scientists and real deals with the solid evidence aren't appreciated. I've never seen someone go so far to be neutral and unbiased. You're the only person I know who demands a scientific study on a political post source.

You try to be fair and unbiased. You give it everything you have. Now that you are realizing just how ridiculous the right is - due to COVID and pretty much the unpunished murder of a black man - you are being forced to realize how messed up conservatism is. You realize how ridiculous the misinformation is -and in some ways that makes you even crazier. Even you can't remain neutral in the face of this level of hatred and oppression. You're a good person. Nobody would expect you to be unbiased and make excuses for Hitler during World War II, Welcome to the left. Welcome to the resistance.

Your profile statement displays a slightly different you. As long you do not make the effort to proselytize, you are OK by me and I welcome you here. You do you, I do me and let's strive to do or cause no harm.

We always knew you were a wordy troll...yawn...

Believe whatever you want. Believers are always masquerading as others in order to force their beliefs onto others and trying to convert people. Hypocrisy at its highest. If you truly believe that God gave everyone free will, then everyone can decide to believe or not believe. Stop playing God and trying to take away that fre will that you supposedly believe in.
